Increase Car Re-Sale Value With Refurbished Alloy Wheels

range-rover-diamond-cutGetting alloy wheels repaired or refurbished can be a great way to increase the re-value of a car.

Diamond Alloys works closely with many quality used cars dealerships to give their cars a finishing touch to ensure the vehicle is looking as good as possible on their forecourt enabling them to achieve a higher re-sale value.

Take a look at these Range Rover alloy wheels which were looking pretty dull and uninspiring before their Diamond Alloys makeover. All kerbing damage, scuffs and scrapes were dealt with first with a clean down in our aquablast machine before getting some loving care in our prep room. As standard, they were given a powdercoat to ensure they had a smooth base for our diamond cutter to work from.

The finished result produced a wheel which was stunning, bringing life back to their look in keeping with the prestigious marque they belong to. Our technicians applied a beautiful grey paint effect on the inside of the spokes and then applied a diamond cut face to really show off the stunning 14 spoke design.

Whether you are a customer wanting a new look for your own car, or a leasing company or dealership with a fleet of cars to care for, then call Diamond Alloys on 0845 370 8881 for more information on how our services can add value to your cars.

The result is amazing with the damage completely vanished.

Get a New Look For Your Alloys and Protect Them At The Same Time With Rim Bands

diamond-alloys-rim-bands-greenMany customers come to Diamond Alloys to get their alloy wheels repaired, eliminating ugly scuffs and scrapes which can easily occur when parking against high kerbs. However, we also have customers come in to our London based alloy wheel refurbishment centre just to get a new look for their alloys.

Take a look at these pictures and you will see a great example of how having your alloys painted with a new colour can bring your car to life. Customer Kevin Parfit wanted a standard painted refurbishment on his alloys with lime green Rim bands to match his unlimited green Ford Focus.

The gloss black alloys look stunning against the brilliant green of Kevin’s car and the addition of the rim bands makes stunning finishing touch to the overall look. They are practical too and protect the edges of your alloy wheels meaning that future kerbing damage is reduced. This prolongs the life of your alloys as it can help ensure the protective lacquer layer is not compromised. If the lacquer is damaged and water is allowed to seep underneath this can cause your alloys to corrode.

We can add a colourful selection of rim bands to your car, available in black, blue, lime, orange, pink, red, silver, white and yellow there is a colour to suit most tastes and cars. At only £50 for a pack of 4, they will help protect your car potentially saving you money off future repair bills. Fitting rim bands is free of charge at Diamond Alloys if you are booked in for a repair or refurbishment. Call 0845 370 8881 for more details.

 

Corroded Dodge Alloys Wheels get a Diamond Cut refurbishment

severe-alloy-wheel-corrosionAlloy wheel corrosion can cause severe damage to your rims leaving them looking beyond repair. However, you don’t have to outlay huge amounts of cash by buying new alloy wheels when a refurbishment will restore them to a brilliant finish with every spot of corrosion banished.

Take a look at these badly corroded Dodge alloy wheels brought into Diamond Alloys by customer Andrew Crabtree. Corrosion is caused when water, and especially salt water, gets under the lacquer and attacks the metal. This often happens after the protective lacquer layer is compromised from kerbing or similar damage.

As you can see the corrosion damage is extensive on these alloys which meant they had to spend time in the acid tank; a process which removes the corrosion. Our technicians are experts and have the skills to know how long each alloy needs to spend in the acid as this depends on the severity of the corrosion, which as you can see varies from wheel to wheel. We do not recommend you do this yourself, acid can not only be dangerous to your skin but if your rims are left too long in the acid they too can be damaged beyond repair.

diamond-cut-alloyAfter the corrosion has been removed completely the alloys are cleaned and prepped before being powder coated and painted. These alloys were also Diamond cut to bring out the real beauty of the metal before a protective layer of lacquer is applied.

Happy customer Andrew Crabtree commented “Extremely impressed with the finish on the wheels, they look perfect, and a vast improvement on what I delivered to you at the start of the week.  You have done a fantastic job, thanks. “ 

If your alloy wheels have corrosion damage, don’t despair, simply bring them down to Diamond Alloys and we will give them the full treatment and bring them back to life. The results are stunning when seen against their former appearance. Call us on 0845 370 8881 or get a quick on-line quote here.
